Bruneau is true surprise.
You have to drive through the desert, where there is nothing but sage brush.
I believe the drive is 18 miles of nothing. On my first visit, I set my odometer.

Fairly long drive, including on gravel to a spectacular overlook. Good pit toilet and reassuringly modern fence by edge. Not hikable down. Can drive 5 miles to Roberson trail, but road is primitive. Can also do side trip to Saylor Range used by the Air...More

Driving to this location is remote, dusty and a bit on the uneasy side due to it location. You will pass along a dusty road that is part of the Airforce testing area. At the end of the road you will come to the end...More
